In terms of combat strength, an ordinary Skeleton with top-grade Purple Bone, though also at the high end of Tier 2, was inferior to a Transcendental Skeleton with high-grade Purple Bone. However, the former had a higher resurrection priority than the latter.
That was because a top-grade Purple Bone Skeleton started at the very peak of high Tier 2 and could advance to a Third-Rank Bone Spirit at any moment.
A high-grade Purple Bone Skeleton, by contrast, had only just reached high Tier 2 and still had a ways to go before advancing to Third Rank.
A Third-Rank Bone Spirit was definitely stronger than a Second-Rank Bone Spirit. The Skeleton Legion could fight a Third-Rank opponent with Tier 2 forces only by overwhelming it with numbers.
With the Mage Tower's amplification, Medivh had no trouble assembling and resurrecting top-grade Purple Bone Common Skeletons. Soon, a top-grade Purple Bone Skeleton Assassin stepped down from the Alchemy Table.
While his mental energy was still active, he resurrected two more top-grade Purple Bone Skeleton Rangers before finally feeling mentally exhausted.
Skeleton Assassins and Skeleton Rangers were two types of ordinary Skeleton that he resurrected frequently. Their parts came from a wide range of sources: after the ordinary bones of the Spirit Rabbit, Spirit Fox, and Spirit Cat Tribes, as well as the Gnoll Tribe, were smelted, they could all be used to make parts for these two kinds of Skeletons.
Medivh was very familiar with these two types of Skeleton. He didn't inspect them in detail, instead sending them off to report to the Skeleton Legion.
His attention was on the Skeleton Behemoth. While he had been advancing, it had completed its bone growth, gaining thick Bone Armor that covered its entire body.
This was the first non-humanoid Skeleton Medivh had resurrected—the first
